Initial quantitative development of the Norse Feedback system: a novel clinical feedback system for routine mental healthcare.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeAs routine outcome monitoring has become prevalent in psychological practice, there is need for measurement tools covering diverse symptoms, treatment processes, patient strengths, and risks. Here we describe the development and initial tests of the psychometric properties of a multi-scale system for use in mental healthcare, Norse Feedback.
methodsIn Study 1, we present the item-generation process and structure of the Norse Feedback, a 17-scale digital-first measurement tool for psychopathology and treatment-relevant variables. In Study 2, we present analyses of this initial measure in a nonclinical sample of 794 healthy controls and a sample of 222 mental health patients. In Study 3, we present the analysis of a revised 20-scale system in two separate samples of patients. In each analysis, we investigate item and test information in particular, including analysis of differential item functioning on gender, age, site, and sample differences where applicable.
resultsScales performed variably. Changes to items and scales are described. Several scales appeared to reliably discriminate individuals entering mental health treatment on severity, and others are less reliable. Marked improvements in scale internal consistency and measurement precision were observed between the first and second implemented versions.
conclusionThis system includes some scales with reasonable structural validity, though several areas for future development are identified. The system was developed to be iteratively re-evaluated, to strengthen the validity of its scales over time. There are currently a number of limitations on inferences from these scores, which future developments should address.
